the country’s problems are not shown by private television stations that offer varied content. In addition to the news, in programming Televen and Venevision drama spanning Venezuelans not reflected. Realist soap operas are no longer produced and characters like Patria Mia or Cachito not counted.
From spaces of opinion, until a few years present does at all times, barely surviving Dialogue with and José Vicente today in the channel Horizonte. Those who were led by César Miguel Rondón, Marta Colomina, Napoleon Bravo, Leopoldo Castillo, among others, were removed gradually from the air.
In Globovision plant in which this format is maintained, are counted Vladimir at 1 journalist Vladimir Villegas and The time key , with Macky Arenas and Manuel Felipe Sierra, among others.
The productions of humor have not fared much better. The last satirical program Chataing TV , producing Televen, was canceled in 2014.
The everyday Venezuelan has lost one of its most important spaces and barely appears on broadcast television, although the revolution count with 15 public or private, at your service broadcasters. Laws that promote censorship and self-censorship, the inability to plan production to rising inflation and the closing of RCTV have reduced the programs of the private channels that no longer dare to recreate or parodying the country, its leaders and its people .
All this without the constant threats made to the media since the presidential speeches. “Globovision and Televen are for all damage and damage the revolution. We continue to see in the battle, bourgeois gentlemen owners of television media, “said Nicolas Maduro in January. Recently, the head of state said that private channels conceal the achievements of his administration.
“The silent pact between the government and private television is obvious,” says Gustavo Hernandez, professor of the UCV. Academic notes that although the communication strategy evasion is common in countries in crisis, Venezuelan television plants have chosen to ignore reality outrageously.
“The crisis that the citizen does not exist on the screens. Variety shows, dramatic and other genres are deeply embedded in a fictional world, “he adds.
Hernandez says that broadcasters can manage scheduling looking for the viewer to make catharsis and exhaust queues, shortages and insecurity around him. However, he explains that is what has caused the Venezuelan audience migrate to the cable. The latest figure is known is 2014, when 49.6% of Venezuelans said they prefer to watch pay television and 37.8% national private channels.
Only dramas pink. currently not seen in dramatic screen that portray reality or make complaints. According to the researcher Carolina Acosta-Alzuru soap operas, the last production of this genre was The perfect woman , broadcast by Venevision 2010. She and Leonardo Padrón agree that the government’s threat and fear have corroded the national screen.
“When dramatic not include our reality, take away the opportunity to see us and to our circumstances. This also happens with humor, with news and other content. It is no coincidence that the government will establish a legal framework to control media content, including soap operas, “says the academic.
Padrón believes that national television is opaque. “He has given up his personality survival instinct. The dedication of the channels is to avoid the amputation of his radio signal, “says the writer.
According to both, the government needs a docile and easy TV to control, not to show the reality of the country and not allow Venezuela is reflected in its contents. And, of course, that on makeup and disguise the crisis as an actor who plays a character.
Padrón apart easily the thesis that realistic soap operas are not competitive in the international market: “One example is the narconovelas. They have the market cornered, they are a mega-hit sales and reflect two neuralgic issues in Latin American society: drug trafficking and social violence. ”
Humor is another story Characters like Malula of Asocerro, who was satire of poverty.; or Perolito and Scarlet, who reflected on inflation, ended with the closure of RCTV. In 2014, the shadow of censorship came up Chataing TV and Mission Emilio after years with creative limitations including the prohibition of using words like scarcity and devaluation were included, and the name of officials as Diosdado Cabello and Nicolas Maduro.
are interesting moments for humor, think Sergio Jablon, who was head writer of Radio Rochela and Emilio combo point . But he knows that, prior censorship on national television is almost impossible. The absence of programs editorialicen humor that is evident today.
“ La Rochela in some sense was the newspaper of the week. Those who do not read things they learned Monday from 8:00 to 9:00 pm. Comedy should reflect reality, there are so many things happening right now that should be reviewed from humor. No comedy is speaking well of anyone, “says the writer.
Jablon stresses that the production team Radio Rochela insisted that all presidential candidates visited the program and engrave at least one sketch. Venezuela currently has material to make people laugh – and think – to the audience. “Maduro should have a character. He himself is and is much funnier than you really wanted, “says
